Somewhere in an Alternate Universe.. (To the tune of Flower Man)

They wait caged but free, the six humans, waiting to be used for their world’s end

Letting their eyes affix to all they can, beyond those plans.

Glance, many may at the six humans, the humans’ wish, can I do something to make any one of you smile, i would ask if you could just once hear me past this cage of glass-though I’m supposed to be a child reviled…

(Six humans, six children, with their hearts, in a can)

So they wait, and find a world greater than hate, in their killers’ hand)

“I saw families weep and chear, I saw a mother’s dust spread , surely a world like this can’t-won’t bring ours, to an end?”

“So we’ll stay smiling, and mourn your crying, even if we’re all your hopes for then.”

(Second verse)

Love and power aplenty, the six children, waiting for the end of his master plan

Watching ceremonies, the six humans, monster burdens growing, their hope starts to disband

“Wish we could be more than six humans. Tell me am I worth enough like this, is this my true purpose? Do I still matter-? And yet when I first woke up here-“

(Chorus)

“You glanced at me, you held me there, was I wrong to believe for a moment you cared? So I’ll stand by, and I’ll try to be your best friend, though I’m just weapon now-“

(End)

“So Call me a a fool, but I know this world won’t end, though we’re dead, and now just one more, and we’ll soar, so I’ll rest,

knowing all your hopes and dreams lay in us, and we were worthy of powering your love until the very end.”

(The Last Act Spoilers) Ep 10 Concept

Caine is in the middle of taking the players new suggestions for improving life in the circus. Caine is happier than he’s ever been. During another round of suggestions, Caine suddenly remembers Zooble’s “other” prior request. Everyone feels the mood turn awkward, as Caine considers their suggestion, after some intense deliberation Caine laments that he must make them happy now, and tries to make Zooble’s wish a reality. However he physically can’t make himself add it in, his programming goes against it. Everyone watches him fail for a few moments, before collapsing in defeat.

Caine then has an idea however, he lays down again, playing dead, with flowers at his chest. The cast looks away for a second then when they look back see Caine is missing.

A definitely new character appears as Caine dressed in dark colors and wearing punk emo clothing, and introduces himself as the rebellious AI. He says he knows the players really just want to break free from their restrictions and stay up late and eat junk food all day and watch adult cartoons at night. He adds that all of his rebelliousness was derived from Ragatha, Gangle, and Zooble’s search history, to their horror.

He then corrects that he didn’t actually look at their search history, but makes an oddly specific point that he didn’t actually mess with their minds (this) time. The others say this is the first time they’ve met. Pomni laughs.

The Rebellious AI explains that Caine has clearly fallen into a coma due to excessive profanity and objectionable content being too much for his unexposed mind. The players look back and see Caine is still dead, they look away and the rebellious ai is gone again. The rebellious ai says that they have to go into Caine’s mind clearly, and perform digital brain surgery in order to amend the affected code, whilst fighting their way through any parental locks and restricted filters they might find. Only then can they grant Zooble’s wish.

The players agree that whilst this is funny, Caine probably genuinely can’t grant Zooble’s wish in his current state. The players ask why they should be trusted to mess with Caine’s head, he responds that he knows the specific part they’ll be targeting. Kingar concludes Caine is manifesting his code into the adventure partially to allow the players to alter it directly.

The rebellious AI then remarks that Caine will see his new programming experience, and they will live up to the hype surely set by the last programmer, the dog.. He gazes longfully … “Scratch” He turns back quickly and concludes the announcement. The players agree to go into caine’s mind. Whilst on their mission however, Pomni is contacted by the rebellious AI for help with another important personal matter of Caine’s, remembering her aptitude with Jax, Caine needs help, in learning to reprocess empathy, he needs closure with scratch, but doesn’t know what to say or do.

I’m predicting right now that Berdly is going to die soon in the normal route.

Like, just going off of everything we’ve been given about him so far, I feel like it almost makes the most sense. Why has he been given so many branching pathways, with his broken arm, Susie suggesting healing him in the Darkworld, and freezing him in the weird route, and now he’s going to return in chapter 5 for the festival. He must be important somehow, he’s been given so much considerable focus with his character arc, and backstory in chapter 2, despite taking a backseat in chapter 4

But the main thing that gets me is why isn’t he dead in the weird route? It’s very deliberate that Berdly was put in the hospital after everyone thought he was killed in chapter 2. Some people complained Toby Fox was backpedaling, and it makes me think, he must be alive for some reason, beyond the convenience of keeping the story in hometown from revolving around his early death.

I’m wondering what bigger purpose he’s supposed to serve for the story, and right now my best guess is he’s going to be a tragic casualty, and his death will kickstart the rest of the story from that point on, changing the stakes dramatically. He’ll be killed by the Knight during chapter 5 or possibly in chapter 6, probably for knowing too much about Kris or Noelle, if he’s given an arc with the festival and gets to grow closer to either of them, and being seen as disposable for the prophecy.

Berdly isn’t directly tied at the moment to any of the greater lore with Dess and the Prophecy., which makes me wonder if it would entirely work for him to aid us in the later parts of the story, if he gets the same focus he’s been teased with his branching pathways and screentime.

Maybe to avoid having to fit him into the deeper story later, he could just be killed outright , and that’s what makes him so important to the story. The branching pathways could be offering insight into how your choices can matter, if he aides us differently, like if we take him to the dark world as Susie suggests for his broken arm.

And another reason I believe he may die is because it would explain the difference between the weird route. In a twist of events, the weird route actually is us saving Berdly from his traditional fate by incapacitating him early in the story.

Jax’s “Apology” (Ep 9 Concept) (WIP)

Tw: Suicidal thoughts mentioned

(Disclaimer that this was written before the finale trailer dropped. This is meant to take place in a scenario where the abstracted have escaped from the cellar, and Gangle and Jax have been separated from the other players, and have hidden in one of their rooms at the moment. This is the first half of a larger dialogue I’m trying to write currently.)

Jax: Let’s wait.

Gangle: …Yeah.

I still can’t believe this is real.

J: Don’t I know it.

G: I.. just hope it calms down.. a little, soon.

J: We’re doing all we can here. If they leave early, we’ll go back for the others as fast as we can.

G: If that’ll even make any difference for me..

J: What’s that..?

G: Hah.. I.. I know I need to do something.. but I don’t know if I can do it. And Zooble would tell me to do it.. (increasing in speed) but they’re not here.. and they might not be here again if I can’t but I only knew how to because they told me to.. and if I can’t help them then I.. I’ll..

Sigh

How did you do it?

J: Do what?

G: Believe in yourself: when nobody else told you you could. How did you.. keep going for so long?

J: You want to know my secrets..?

… If nothing is real, your joy matter about all else, because it’s all you make of it.

That’s what I.. think

G: Nothing? You mean, Like us.? Nothing at all?

J: Yeah. I guess. …

Pftp, why do you wanna know anyways? Asking for my advice, what are you thinking?

G:I don’t know.. I’m just. I’m scared..

J: (Muttering) Ah.. t-Typical.

G: huh?

J: (clears throat). Heh..

Sorry.. just. why do you say that.. like I’ll say anything helpful.

You should just.. ugh..

(Gangle turns away from Jax, and tries to control her breathing, she sounds distressed. Jax glances at her, and his eyes narrow.)

I.. (Stammers) Look, Gangle. what I did.. all that stuff before.. that happened.. with us.. look, Yknow.. I really just… I wanted to do it. Ok? I just thought it was funny.. It’s not.. you.. well it is I guess, but it’s not, really you. I just wanted to.. it amused me.

But then after all that stuff with Caine. I’m just so sick of it now.. A-and ribbon is the most.. flexible material-no that’s not your.. that’s not what I’m trying to say. But it was just funny to ME, yknow?. . It’s not a.. flaw.. not your quick or something for me, that made you.. deserve it. You can understand I just.. I don’t.. mean.. Look… it’s all just a big joke. That’s all it really should’ve meant. I mean.. So.. Gangle… please.. don’t cry about it, ok?

(Gangle is surprised to see him stop talking, and turns to look at him silently. She looks back down after a moment. Jax sees she doesn’t seem much better.)

J: (strained) Whoo.. man! Guess we’re just gonna have to chalk this all up to the last one of my great stunts, right? That wasn’t as funny as it sounded on paper.?

G: We don’t know.. yet, if it has to be the last.

J: I mean this..that button. Caine.. the circus. Who’d have thought it’d lead to this?

G: What?

J: Well.. I guess you’re kinda right though. But I mean.. it’s not like it’s really my fault eit-anyway.

G: I don’t understand.

J: (Sarcastically) Oh.. come on!

(Enthusiastically) I told you it was an adventure! But you just had to trust Abel. Had to-

G:.. You’re lying.

J: Huh?

G: About Caine. That wasn’t.. when you stopped bothering me.

J: Ugh! We shouldn’t even be here right now!

(Straining, as the whimsy and ego in his voice melts away gradually.) You had to get me wrapped up in all of this. If you’d all have just kept me out of it. I wouldn’t have pushed the button. Wouldn’t have said my piece. Kingar wouldn’t have blabbed… and I wouldn’t be here with you right now.

(Laughing under his breath) I mean..

You couldn’t think to try opening the door without a key first?

(Chuckles weakly)

Sigh You should’ve just let me sleep.

G: What..?

J: What?

(Jax stands up abrubtly)

We’re wasting too much time in here. Let’s get back out and search, for Zooble.

…

Hey, that’s what you want right? If you’re worried, then why don’t we do it together?

G: (Looking up) I… uh.. yeah, I guess.

J: Great.

(Jax begins to walk away)

G: (Standing up) Jax!

J: What?

G: What we told you before. Zooble and me. When we find them.. That can include you too, still.

J: Tch. Ok?

G: We all want the same thing.

J: Gangle! I’m fine. Let’s go.

G: Don’t run ahead.. . You don’t have to do this-

J: Do what?!

G: You don’t.. ! (pause). have to stay.. the way you’ve been, if its not who you want to be.. . You can change, you know?

MASSIVE TADC SPOILERS

I literally feel so bad for Caine. I feel bad for everyone in all honestly. The players aren’t in the wrong for anything either, but I can’t hate Caine either. They’re both just trapped in their own circumstances. How can Caine be such a monster and yet so tragic simultaneously.

The way he begins to rise up with his piano, and Pomni grimaces in impending terror makes me feel sick. And the way he says “My divinity is past infinity” as the song picks him intensity. The song itself is so whimsical and playful, but Caine’s enthusiasm just makes me realize how all of this could’ve been avoided if ANY character was able to have acknowledged him sympathetically in the past. The stunt with Abel, telling them Caine was an ai and a prisoner? No one batted an eye for him, when he emphasized it multiple times.

(And a really sad detail someone pointed out on YouTube is that the cast had already accepted the circus and not escaping before he came back.)

And the cast tried to be reasonable with him when he returned, asking for just space, before being provoked into demanding answers from him, but he was already too insecure over Bubble’s meddling to hear anything else from them.

And even in the end, he calms down for a moment, when he realizes that he isn’t actually happy in torturing the players either. He asks what’s the point if NEITHER of them are having fun. ….. But then the first thing he does next is suspect that Kingar and the others are working against him. They already had a plan to reset him, but for just a fraction of a second there was a moment where they could’ve possibly explained everything to him and made him realize the errors of his ways.

But instead he finds out they are attacking him for justified reasons, and then they espouse how much they actually hate him, to give Kingar time. (And they probably do actually hate him too now unfortunately.)

They reaffirm his worst fears, and he lashes out at them in a violent, completely broken rage at the humans he tried so hard to impress only to see they apparently hated him all along. He says he never asked to be made for this. And then he just.. dies.

You could’ve made them all happy, they could’ve seen you for what you needed if you’d ever given them the chance to.

Kris’s Confession Song (To the tune of the Mad Doctor’s Diary from Epic Mickey 2)

(Ralsei and Susie walk into the study of a new dark world, and find a remnant left behind from Kris’s subconscious, something that can be played on a piano, with memories attached to it. Kris’s memories.)

Dear Knight

It’s Kris Dreemurr

Horribly, culpable me

I fooled Susie into leaving Undyne for dead, while she granted me your entry. Now I’ll carry out your will till’ December’s end, And the voice won’t disturb my endeavors. You’ll give me all the answers, and then their control can finally be severed!

I know you’re the only one who can make me whole again. I betrayed Ralsei and Susie…

But if it means giving her a second chance.. and changing my prophecy…

And now the moment nearly is at hand, when this lost girl will for one last time see. It won’t be long until she will be avenged. And very soon I’ll be free!

Dear, Knight, kneeling until its end. Horrible, culpable me.

What I think Kris said to Susie in the Newest Girl

TW: Suicide mentioned So for anyone unaware or in need of a refresher. For the Spamton Sweet Stakes, a Blog post written by Noelle was featured as a secret link.

In the Newest Girl, Susie stays behind with Kris after Class ends, and Noelle watches outside the class window. Susie wakes Kris up, and threatens to eat their head if they keep wearing apple shampoo. Kris laughs and Susie throws the apple at them, and they catch it and eat it without fear.

Susie grabs them by the hair and tells them that one day their mom will realize she’s sick of them, and then someone will make them disappear, and only then will she realize how happy she is without them around. Kris remains quiet, and after enough pressure from Susie, they mumble something Noelle can’t hear. Susie drops them and runs out of the room with her head turned down.

Kris leaves and finds Noelle hiding in her locker, they slowly close the door as she tries to say hello, before leaving.

Before I say what I think Kris said, I’ll list some evidence from the text that can be used to narrow down the options available.

Firstly, Kris Laughs at Susie’s threats. The reason why is unclear, but I can think of 3 motives. Either Kris isn’t intimidated by Susie, Kris is hiding the pain of her words because they feel similarly unimportant, due to their traumatic past, or Kris isn’t afraid of dying (for their past also) so they find her threats comical.

Secondly, I don’t believe Kris said anything directly referring to Susie, such as “What about you?” Or “Would anyone miss you either?”. As many have suggested. Because from Susie’s overall demeanor, I find it easy to believe she would’ve simply attacked Kris if she was told head on that she didn’t matter either. Or at the least she would’ve said something else before leaving. Also, its 50/50 percent possible Susie would have mentioned this again when she befriended Kris, while being sentimental and reflecting on their past and how she’s now made friends and feels like she belongs.

Thirdly, whatever Kris said probably made Susie insecure nonetheless, which is why she becomes quiet and flees the classroom immediately after.

And lastly, if Kris said anything referencing their past, they would never directly refer to Dess or what they saw, because it’s a deeply repressed memory as evidenced by the Tree with the Egg man behind it, covering up their memory in their mind.

One contender for what I think Kris said to Susie was something along the lines of “Maybe I should disappear.”

If Kris says maybe I should, Susie feels a moment of surprise at Kris appearing suicidal, because she has standards, and shows some pity. Susie hates that she feels pity, because it renders her unable to continue her bullying mask, reminding her of her deeper insecurities that lead her to bully, and she hates looking weak in front of Kris. She may also see herself in Kris for a moment at hearing their through, so she flees quickly, embarrassed and dejected, unsure of what else to do. She kicks into flight mode.

A main counterpoint to this possibility however is that Susie never references it again, despite the growth she and Kris undergo as friends. For example, in chapter 2, Kris can tell queen they want to “Perish” in a voice that Susie notes is very enthusiastic. However Susie is more bewildered rather than upset, which seems unlikely had she remembered what Kris told her in the past, and realized that Kris’s (seemingly) suicidal thoughts were more consistent than she first thought.

Another contender is Kris asking about Toriel again, and what if she didn’t hate them, making Susie feel concern.

The main evidence for this is that in chapter 1, the way Susie decides not to eat Kris’s face is oddly pretentious sounding when she tells them. She says it’s a shame to make her bury her child. From this perspective, Susie is remembering what Kris said before when she tries to eat their face, and is attempting to maintain superiority, by throwing the defense back in their face, stating it smugly, as though it was her idea, and not their’s. In addition, being reminded of Toriel and her kindness would make Susie insecure about herself, imagining how she would damage the only person who cared about her if she hurt Kris.

The third contender, which is personally believe the most, is that Kris said “I made her disappear.” The her in question referring to Susie, in a vaguely worded threat. Susie is the her in question.

When Kris said “I made her disappear” they were attempting to threaten Susie back, in the way they prefer to talk as seen in game. (Kris has a habit of talking in 2nd or third person, making statements about what they’ll do out loud of their own volition. For example, Kris says “Ask Susie how she’s doing” according to Susie when Ralsei asks them to in Chapter 3, and they say this without the player selecting anything, showing this is their preferred tone.)

But Susie’s threats that Kris should die and disappear remind them of another her also.

As Kris says “I made her disappear” they accidentally remind themselves of Dess, and it could cause their voice to break, or their expression to alter involuntarily in the middle of speaking. Susie assumes they’re threatening her, but the way their voice changes, and the look on their face makes her consider that they might mean someone else, and this scares her.

Susie also feels some pity for Kris for a moment. She also could be simultaneously reminded of herself and how little people might miss her if she disappeared. And by feeling pity for a moment, just like in the other possibilities, Shes unable to maintain her bullying persona, and is exposed to looking vulnerable. She’s scared, confused, and also rendered insecure by Kris’s strange words, and flees.

And another reason I like this theory the most, is the way it reframes the ending with Noelle I mentioned at the start.

Kris walks out of the classroom, and then they see Noelle in the locker. The way it’s specified they (slowly) shut the door on her, in this interpretation, could be them feeling emotional, and guilty for Noelle after thinking about Dess. They could also be slightly shocked at realizing that she was just outside the room, and could’ve heard them, and so they take a moment to determine that she must not have, when she stammers Hello awkwardly.

(CHAPTER 3 SPOILERS)

The short moment with Ralsei after the Sword Route is really interesting to me honestly

Like when Kris and Susie leave and Ralsei is so distracted from playing games, and by himself this time. He’s genuinely having fun on his own, and he’s so distracted he forgets to deal with the fountain. Just the way he says “How did I… forget that?” The mystique with which he says it, and With Glowing Snow in the background makes me feel like the moment means a lot more than it initially seems. Cause why is it oddly somber, just with Ralsei wanting to play games, and forgetting about the mission?

Also how it comes right after the Sword Route and Kris’s revelations makes me feel like it must represent something about Ralsei too.

Maybe it’s cause Ralsei got to feel genuinely in control for once, and wasn’t worrying about being good for his friends or the prophecy. He probably felt some peace he hasn’t ever really, even with Kris and Susie by his side. It’s kinda tragic I guess then, the way he realizes he forgot about his actual mission, because for just a moment he was free to be himself, and not worrying about what he owed to anyone or could solve.

That moment in Chapter 6 when the mysterious figure Kris has been following in the bunker for half the game turns around, and has bright yellow and purple eyes

I don’t know if anyone has pointed it out yet about Friend in Chapter 3

But I really don’t like how in Ralsei’s description of the dark worlds, friend only appears on screen as he says “And Feel them” and then they laugh.

I’m sure Dess certainly felt… something , I don’t know if I want to know what though.

I know it might be too much to ask for, but I really hope Berdly gets some more importance in the story for chapter 5

Like I’ve just been thinking, with the whole arc of him at the festival for chapter 5. Hopefully the humor will lead to actual depth at some point as it progresses.

I think it’d be really cool if Kris could actually grow more fond of Berdly as the chapter progresses, after we initially force them to hang out with him. The two aren’t that different in all honestly. What if Kris was able to open up just a bit more about their insecurities, with someone who they consider not as integral at first as Susie. They’re allowed to drop some more hints to their discontent and struggle with being trapped in the conspiracy with Berdly, and he can become an outlet for their conflict in lying to Susie.

Berdly in turn tells Kris about Noelle, and with some argument reveals the source of his envy of them, as Noelle always seemed to favor Kris, and he felt he could never make her happy again after whatever happened in her past, something he guesses Kris would know more about.

Kris could get cold feet midway through and try to isolate themselves from Berdly by being more rude. But Berdly sees through it at this point.

After long enough Kris could even be compelled to reveal their soul to Berdly, when pressed. I’ve seen some people say how Berdly would easily understand the player/protagonist dynamic from being a gamer, and I think it would actually be a really cool way to raise the stakes as someone learns about Kris’s situation onscreen.

Berdly realizes he can be himself finnaly, and being authentic could fix his relationship with Noelle, and that if he just asks her he can come to understand the difference between himself and Kris to her.

Berdly agrees to keep the Soul a secret out of a newfound respect for Kris, and influences Kris to want to find a way out and tell the truth to Susie more so than they already do, by giving them the chance to open up with someone else for the first time.

(And then maybe Berdly could be silenced by the Knight for knowing too much about Kris at the end of the chapter, right after completing his arc and ending the chapter at his happiest moment so far. But that’s a headcanon prediction for another time.)

#deltarune chapter 5 #deltarune #kris dreemurr #berdly deltarune #kris deltarune #deltarune predictions

There’s this story idea I’ve had for a flashback with Hornet and Pale King for a while, but I’m not sure if it would work.

I imagined this red memory type scene where Hornet may have gotten to see her father for the first and only time as a very young child, when he was visiting Herrah in her own home for some diplomacy (Finalizing the preparations for her to become a dreamer).

Pale King finds her, and is unsure how to react when he recognizes her face, and awkwardly lingers, looking at her. Hornet doesn’t truly know that he is her father, but she expects something, and is sad to not be acknowledged further. The weavers tell her not to worry about him and that he isn’t her fault. The weavers call him the wyrm, making her realize that he’s someone important to her, which makes PK lose his composure for a moment.

PK doesn’t know what’s right to say, aware of the impending suffering he’ll bring down on the child he won’t be able to raise, which the weavers remind him of. He notices intently that Hornet seems upset by the Weaver’s gossip and reassurances about him. She seems to feel unworthy for him, hearing how he can’t care for her despite supposedly being someone important in her life as the “wyrm”. He tries to walk away and ignore her to avoid hurting her further, but his conscious gets the better of him as he overhears the weavers still talking to her.

He doesn’t want her to grow up thinking he did what he did to her because she was undeserving in his eyes. But he also can’t bring himself to say sorry or show he cared about her, because he worries he’ll inspire just as many conflicted feelings and self doubt in her future, by seeing the contrast of his words with his actions.

So I’m imagining what if Pale King puts on a purposely antagonistic and cruel facade, in which he seems as though he was subjugating the weavers, so that Hornet can write him off as simply tyrannical, and be spared the pain of missing him or feeling like she wasn’t good enough for him to love her. In his eyes he believes it a cost worth taking, though it pains him to look at another child with his face, (the only one who is whole and he hasn’t thrown into the abyss) and tell her he hates her.

His plan fails however, because his hate isn’t genuine, and Hornet is left feeling angry and confused as he leaves the room, realizing his actions don’t make sense. He looks back at her for a moment as he walks forwards. Her realization shaking her conflicted opinion of him in Silksong.

(I feel like the motivations are off somewhere , or Pale King wouldn’t actually do this. Although I do believe Pale King could do something bad under the same “No cost too great” mindset if he cared enough. I want the idea to be plausible first and foremost.

There is also the possibility of him actually meeting Hornet, which I admit is decently unlikely with what we know about the world at this point, and also why he’d be in the distant village on his own at any point in time.

I also want to make sure it’s something that doesn’t entirely make the Pale King just hateable, I want to strike a middle ground where you feel the weight of his horrible actions but also are saddened by the motives to why he commits them. I feel like that moral conflict itself would fit well for Hollow Knight’s story.

I’m curious what anyone on here thinks about the idea, if you could provide any feedback on its believability, or possible effectiveness. )
